My conversion from lukewarm Catholic to devout Catholic came as a result of a life changing dream I had in 2017. I went to bed at midnight and when I woke up from the dream it was 5am. God took me to hell in my dream. I was trapped there in outer darkness all night screaming for help and no one could hear me. I could feel the years passing by in my dream. The dream looped all night long as I screamed on helplessly. It was only when I screamed out for God to help me, he stretched out his hand and took mine. I could see light around his hand. Then I woke from that dream. It was after 5am when I awoke. That day I bought a crucifix and a rosary and completely turned my life around. This is a true story. That dream saved my life.
Reply to @ Gill S: Great testimony! You had a ",Jonah" experience. He said," Out of the belly of hell cried I, and God heard him and the fish vomited him up on dru land! But the "Sign Lesson " in Jonah is the Universal ♾️ Salvation of the Ninevites! It was not Jonah's will that they should all repent and accept the Gospel, but It was GOD'S Will, and nothing is too hard for Him or His Son or the Holy Ghost 👻💜!
If you really want to be saved from this, you must follow the first commandment: Thou shalt have no other gods before me. You only got one hand out, not three. You have to think about this carefully. Good luck
May 2021, one month after my husband of 40 years died, I had a very vivid dream of Jesus sitting by my side. He was my friend, and I felt a sense of love coming from him that was so strong and all encompassing like a love I never felt before. His very short message in few words was how to live my life now that my husband was gone. I can still "see" this dream today clearly. When I follow his advice, I am at peace and things are smooth. When I accidentally do not, chaos. It also helped me strive more to become a better Catholic. I believe it was real, because I have never had such a strong memorable dream before, nor could I even imagine the love. People are amazed at how well I am doing since he died, without therapy. The faith and love has moved me forward with much ease.
I sprinkle myself with Holy Water before sleeping. Also, I had dreams of praying the rosary in sleep. I remember waking up many times saying the “Hail Mary”, this is my prayer weapon during nightmares, the enemies vanish immediately with this prayer.
Honestly I always have my rosary on me. You never know when you may need to unsheathe this divine weapon. But I prefer to have it unsheathed at all times.
My mom has breast cancer stage 4. Exactly one year ago, my mothers health took for the worse.. I was pregnant and my mom was dying. I prayed so hard. So when I left my mother so she could get treatment I thought of Padre Pio, I for some odd reason I went to sleep and that night I dreamt of Padre Pio.. I was in the confessionary and he was speaking to me in his native language and all I got was pray and don’t worry!!! 😮 amidst everything that was going on… so coincidently I passed through his Shrine in PA and I felt the most comforting peace. My mom is much better but not going to lie some days are worse than others and I get discouraged but she’s doing better!
After unsuccessfully trying to conceive for two years I went to my childhood church and went to see the Mary statue i visited so much when I was a teenager. I asked if she would pray for me to have another baby. I told God if it was his will that I only have one child I would accept it with his help and truly thanked him for my first boy. But, if it was his will, could I please bare another child so my son wouldn’t be alone. That week I dreamt we were watching fireworks from my front steps. My 3 year old was in awe of the giant fireworks. We got to the grand finale and the big last firework was so huge and covered the whole sky. It was in the image of Mother Mary and all the warmth and light fell over us. It was the most beautiful feeling of pure joy and love. I have never felt that twice. It’s indescribable the peace and love I felt was so PURE. I almost felt weightless.I looked down to the bottom of the front steps and excitedly ask my husband, did you see that? He turned around, beaming at me with a newborn in arms. Yes, I saw that! I woke up in a puddle of tears and feeling like my chest would burst! I was laughing as I ran to the drugstore for a pregnancy test. In my heart I knew it would be positive. It was so beautiful. I remember it clearly. My son is going to be 10 and he’s such a beam of light in my life. I can’t explain it, but that’s what happened. God is great
My mother was a cradle Catholic but became a Protestant before I was born. I was raised Protestant (now Catholic) and I had many wonderful dreams of Jesus and the Saints as a child and I was also susceptible to nightmares. I remember one dream of being invited into the Ark by Moses and Noah (I now realize this is the Catholic Church), and I also remember a nightmare where I was in darkness being harassed by demons and witches. My guardian angel appeared to me in my dream, called me by my name and said “wake up.” I immediately woke up. My parents came in to console me and found occult images on a newspaper I brought into my room because it had cartoons on it. I continue to have spiritual dreams as an adult, and I know now that when I am not in a state of grace, the bad dreams are God’s way of telling me to get my life in order. The most recent one was charity. I have unknowingly offended God by not being charitable. A demon had a hold on me but when I said “charity” it let go of me. I then lamented, “Oh, God, I have gravely offended thee.” Even in nightmares, God is merciful. One final comment. I became Catholic because Our Lady appeared to me in a dream and gave me a Rosary (I was a Protestant married to a lapsed Catholic and didn’t know anything about the rosary). She showed me that a terrible, diabolical attack would take place on our family (it did), but the Rosary would stop it. It did. Praying the Rosary even physically liberated me from demonic oppression. I was suffering from a sudden terrible headache, and while praying the rosary, and meditating upon the sorrowful mysteries, I felt heat radiate from my head and a sudden relief from the debilitating headache. As the headache left me, I felt something kick or punch me on the inside of my body on its way out. Our Lady is the most beautiful woman in the world. She brought me and my family into the Ark of her Son’s Church, and crushed the Devil’s head for me.
Thats awesome. I was brought up protestant but had catholic ancestors. I dreamed of the Jesus as Vilnius image of divine mercy for years as a kid. When i became catholic i realized that i had beeb baptized in a methodist church as a baby on divine mercy sunday
She brought me to her too. I was baptized Catholic as a baby and then my mom turned protestant after that. The Blessed Mother heard my suffering and embraced and consoled me. Unbelievable to the world! Somehow now I believe.
To the one who's reading this, I hope you are doing alright, I hope that all the pain you are facing right now will turn into a great achievement. Always remember that God is always with us. He will bless, guide, and protect us
thank you, I know you don't know me but your comment is so thoughtful and timely, I am scheduled for eye surgery Tuesday, but the issue that is facing us is my husband is being tested for cancer, he is being so strong and I am so proud of him, but feeling so helpless. Yes, prayer helps, but I cannot help wishing I could help him.
I dreamt of saint Padre Pio a few months ago. I was sitting across from him at a long cafeteria table and all the other seats were taken by the happiest children I’ve ever seen. He said one word , “Adoration”. I woke up as soon as he said it. Saint Padre Pio pray for us ❤
Oh my, I had the same dream I had two demons dressed in black and hooded and faceless, outside my glass door but as they were behind the door they couldn’t get in because they were bound. They were bound. I ran to my dining room and I was safe there. When I woke up I was terrified but in real life my dining room is where I had about 80 framed biblical passages. It was a project I worked on during Covid. I felt as if THE word ( of God) from the Bible was what protected me- meaning that I could find all of the answers I seek in the Bible- guidance, direction, safety. That if I had faith in the Bible truths, trusted in what God said, I could let go of the Anxiety I was plagued with. And by the way, my name is Gloria, too.
i had a dream demons came to kill me in the form of men and Mary protected me so effectively they couldn’t see me or touch me and left angry they couldn’t harm me.
I'm so very sorry that you lost your wife, sir :( I'm also sorry that people can only "like" your comment, with out expressing empathy. Your statement reminds me of something I learned while working healthcare and from patients who had amputations - it's called phantom pain. Their muscle memory remembers. The brain is not yet used to that lim no longer being there. You were married 40 YEARS!! Of COURSE you are dreaming she is with you! That's a lot of time, a lot of memories, bonding, one flesh unions. It's fresh! She died last year. And you're still adjusting to life - sadly - without her. I am praying for your broken heart. I have aches too not for the same reasons. The Lord is merciful, dear one. He wants you to cling to and crave Him too.
@@juneclaire9113 Thank you so much for your sympathy . I’m at Ealing Benedictine Abbey attending services- I am a Benedictine Oblate and being tutored in Iconography by Aidan Hart Brother Iain OblSB ❤️
Her soul wants you to pray for her it’s unimaginable separation And still too little time passed but church teaches that this dreams usually is a sign that we have to pray for the souls of our loved ones 🙏🙏🙏🙏God bless you and May your wife’s souls Rest In Peace with in our Lords loving arms 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
In the year 2008, I had a very strange dream. I was raised by toxic parents who fought a lot. Anyway, I was 15 years old when my youngest sister was born. My parents were not capable of raising the child and so, my grandparents raised her. Both grandparents had died by the time she was 13 years old. I was an adult by then and tried my best to look out for her. In 2008, I was living with my mother and my two sisters. In April, 2008, I had taken my youngest sister to Six Flags, Great Adventure. We had a nice time. In September, 2008, I had a strange dream. I dreamt that I was again at Six Flags, Great Adventure with my sister. Suddenly everyone vanished. I saw my grandmother who raised us sitting on a bench. I was shocked to see grandmother because she had passed on. Grandmother looked very worried and upset. I remember saying to her "grandmother what is wrong?" Then I woke up and was a bit worried. I told my sister about my dream and said that grandmother was upset and looked like she wanted to tell me something but I woke up. My sister, Natalie, said "well it was just a dream." I shrugged it off as such and put it in the back of my mind. Then, three months later, on December 13, 2008, tragedy struck. My youngest sister, Natalie was violently struck by a car. Her head hit the windshield and her leg was badly broken. She also had a broken pelvis. The doctors didn't know whether or not she would survive and if she did survive, she was in danger of losing her leg. I was shocked and in disbelief 😮. I thought about my dream of my grandmother. Grandmother had always prayed the rosary down at the Shrine of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal in Germantown. I went there and prayed the rosary and the novena for her. A lot of people prayed with us. My sister survived the accident and was able to save her leg. She was very ill for a long time but she recovered. As I said, God is an enigma, and I don't know if He allowed my grandmother to really visit me in my dream. I know that the accident would've upset her tremendously if she was alive. It was if she was trying to tell me to be careful. The moral of the story is that God definitely tries to show us signs to help guide us. Maybe grandmother really visited me in my dream? Maybe it was just a dream? Nevertheless, the most important thing is to pray and to thank God for His mercy and his many blessings 🙏 May God be with us.
Thank you so much for sharing your story. Prayers for your family and for lots of love and blessings in your life. I am so sorry that happened to you. God bless you.
Thanks for sharing. God speak to us in dreams. But just like you I listened to someone telling me oh it Just a Dream not it's GOD speaking &we need to listen 🙏 wish I knew this wisdom I would have been saved from a whole bunch of PAIN!❤
There was a time ii was in so much stress and my life was very troublesome. One night i dreamt of St Benedict and calling for his help. Strange since i didn't know anything about about him and when i woke up and searched him up,I found out he is the patron saint of exorcists and deliverance. God was literally showing me that I needed deliverance!
As far as dreams go. For a long, long time I had a lot of real bad dreams related to a bad devote where my wife cheated on me along with 2 back to back tours in Iraq. One thing that really really helped me is playing Gregorion Chants and the Ave Maria on low in the background while sleeping. Several 10 hour plus vidios on RUclips that has these. But playing these have really really helped, I sleep much better and have much more pleasant dreams. Plus Gregorion Chant sung in Laten and the Ave Maria help keep the Demons at bay. Ask any exorcist and they will tell you the same.
I have had dreams from God or with Jesus since I was a small child. When I was 6, I began reading the Bible and looking at the pictures early before my family woke up. I began sharing with the priests during confession. As a young college student, I learned calligraphy. My professor encouraged me to incorporate calligraphy with my art. I have had many dreams over the decades and paint them, including scripture.I always pray for God's direction. I printed the cards and am now encouraged to write books with illustrations and calligraphy. Some people are blessed, and some people are offended. I have gifted my cards to my parish.
Thank you Father Chris. I do believe that God does communicate with us in our dreams. God sent the Angel to St. Joseph to tell him of the Annunciation. I had a very strange dream in 2010. It was early December and I was engaged to be married to a divorced man. One night in early December, I had a very strange dream. I dreamt that I was at church with my fiancé where we we going to be married. Suddenly, I see Jesus standing at the altar smiling with His arms stretched out for us to receive Him. He was wearing a green robe with yellow stars. The stars had golden rays coming out of them. Jesus looked identical to the Shroud of Turin image. I was sitting in the pew kneeling with my fiance but we didn't go up. I woke up wondering what that dream meant as it was a bit extraordinary. I was quite moved by the dream. I remember it vividly to this day. About two weeks later, we went to the priest to schedule the wedding. I come to find out that I was free to marry in the Catholic faith but he needed to get an annulment in order for us to be married in church. I begged him to get an annulment and he refused. He was extremely upset. I didn't want to break up with him but I didn't want to marry him outside of the faith and be excommunicated from the Catholic church. He flat out refused to get an annulment and I felt pressured to make a decision. My fiancé was extremely angry and he felt that I was being ridiculous and unreasonable because I said no. I didn't know what to do as it was a serious dilemma. I thought about my dream and was wondering if the Lord Jesus Christ was trying to tell me something. I just couldn't marry him outside of the church. Ultimately, we broke up because I was not willing to be excommunicated. I believe that God is an enigma. Sometimes, God does things to lead us down the right path. Whether it was just a dream or a genuine visit from the Lord Jesus Christ is unknown. I shall never forget how radiantly beautiful Jesus looked in my dream. Oddly enough, He was wearing the colors of Our Lady of Guadalupe. A green robe with yellow stars and it was December. Jesus didn't speak to us with words in my dream. His arms were stretched out welcoming us to come and receive Him in the real presence of the Holy Eucharist. I felt that had my fiance truly loved me he wouldn't have put me in a position to choose between my faith and him. I chose the faith and I don't regret my decision. I was a bit angry at the Church for a long time because of the annulment laws. Years later, I come to realize that not marrying him was the right choice. I finally straightened out my life in 2017 and I have never been happier 😊
I wish I could do the same, I have been with my husband for 20 years married through the Civil Court, but he keeps telling me that he will marry me through the church soon and then later on he will tell me no and he's been doing that for 20 years. I haven't left him because we have an 11-year-old son that has Autism, but he escapes at times and he's a hand full. He's close to his dad and I can't raise him on my own because my husband works while I stay home to take care of him when he has school breaks and to catch up on all his messes, while his in school. So I pray daily for him to marry me, since we have been married for 20 years and have a disabled child together. I truly need the Eucharistic and I'm need of a lot of prayers to get married soon through the Catholic Church, so we can be in total grace and go to heaven.
@SoyElegidaPorDiosEnSuCatolica I will keep you in my prayers. What I would do is talk to your parish priest and see if he can assist you with the annulment process. I would also make a commitment to pray the rosary daily for this intention. Keep your heart open and be patient. God will show you what to do. He'll open a door for you. I also suggest not nagging your husband about it but instead, give it to God. He'll take care of this situation in His time.
God nudges me every night to pray the Devine Mercy Chaplet cause He said the world needs it. If I forget, He wakes me up, & I sometimes say, “yes, ok, I know, I know” , then I start praying it. I then, usually fall asleep right after.
I had a dream where a monk told me my sins were forgiven. Then he told me my mother was out of purgatory! I hadn’t been thinking of my mother but she was a very good Catholic and died 30 years ago! I didn’t know what to make of it but I really felt at peace afterwords. Thinking about it the next day it made sense. My mom died from a sudden heart attack after coming home from Mass. However, she had a half sister that she said she’d never forgive. If the dream was true, perhaps she did have to spend some time there. I still have Masses said for her though.
The so called monk in dream told you that your sins were forgiven? That of course would not be true until you go to a validly ordained Catholic priest and confess them in reality. It seems dangerous because if you don’t have a strong belief in all the teachings/ dogmas of the Catholic Church, then you could have been misled into thinking you had just received absolution in a dream. That will never happen. So be cautious. Prayers B to you.
2 weeks before the day of my licensure exam I was about to give up because I felt pressure and scared to failed the exam, but I dreamed God ,he give his two hands to me to stand up because I was lying in the shore and no plans to stand up, i feel very down, But God appeared and he gives his two hands to me wearing long white clothes, he comfort me, because of my dream I did not afraid to took the exam because I know God guides me and he is in my side ,still very clear in my mind even its 20yrs ago. I love you Lord
Warm greetings from Australia 🦘 The more popular you get Father Chris, the more attacks on your integrity. You have been an absolute Godsend for so many Catholics around the world. You are brilliant and have a beautiful heart (there is NO malice!). THANK YOU. Keep up the great work. Your talks and commitment to the TRUTH is sorely needed.
@@DivineMercy_Official PS Father Chris. I make sure I say a Divine Mercy prayer for you EVERY day, to help you in your work. Please just make sure you don't get burnt out and that you look after yourself. I can only imagine the exorbitant demands on your time and energy ...no peace, even at the airport. If I saw you at the airport, I would shake your hand and say, "thank you Fr. Chris and what an honour for me".
I have sprinkled holy water on my bed and room when I have bad dreams or feel afraid out of no where. I have a rosary under my pillow as well. And I do what to share that having a rosary under your pillow has helped me feel safe and get good sleep without bad dreams
I bought 100 miraculous medals and spread them around my town and at the hospital during the pandemic. Plz say a prayer that I find my medals bc I had them in a bag somewhere and cannot find them anywhere. I had a bunch leftover after spreading around 20-30 of them in my town.
Thank you Fr Chris for a beautiful informative talk on Dreams. St Padre Pio pray for us. May God bless you & strengthen your ministry. God bless the Marians.
I had a dream of my dead friend asking to pray for her and I saw her skin rotten. And I prayed for her soul on that morinng and kept praying for her soul....then I dreamed her again just passed by singing and her skin looked good.
My grandma died of Covid 2 years ago. Last year I had covid and had this severe pain in my throat. like broken glass. I went to bed and had a dream of my grandma and beside her is a man in bright white robe, she hushed me and the man put his hand on my throat and chest. I woke up crying and without the broken glass sensation in my throat. My grandma and my guardian angel healed me in my dream. 🙏🏻
When I was converting, I asked in meditation about purgatory. I had a dream about it and it was dramatic. My guardian angel escorted me into it and showed me the suffering. I also saw a beautiful woman walking through the sufferers and would wipe brows and speak to them, bending over some to comfort. I saw beautiful angels enter and take a person out, embrace them and walk away together.
This sounds so much like St Faustina’s vision of purgatory! It sounds like a true vision you were given. I find the subject of dreams really fascinating.
I have had several dreams with convincing thoughts of what is lying ahead of me. A couple of years ago, I had a dream in which I found myself lying dead in the hands of a person standing opposite an elderly fatherely figure sitting with a compassionate glance on his face. Though I was lifeless, I could feel the sense of an apprehensive anticipation of what this figure was going to pronounce. I don't remember anything after that but when I woke up the next morning, I got the impression that God gave me a new life. I disconnected every tie that held me to lustful thoughts and emotional adultery. My phone is a sacred altar for me to adore Jesus. I have progressed so much on the path of holiness, thanks to the abundant grace and loving mercy poured out through Christ. I am still a Hindu who got to know Jesus through a charismatic retreat a few years ago. I don't even have the freedom to pray to Jesus as I face stiff opposition from my spouse. Still I adore him in my heart and I listen to hundreds of of sermons on RUclips to keep my faith alive. God will work miracles for me and I patiently wait for God to act.
Hinduism starts from one god and then there are multiple gods. Christianity starts from one God and then there are three. In fact, He is one God. How can he say in the first commandment, “Thou shalt have no other gods before me,” and then there are three, not one.! This is one mentioned in the Hindu books and all the ancient scriptures. Or even philosophical ideas. Or even the ancient Egyptians. He is one God worthy of worship. He is the creator of this universe. He neither begins nor is born.
Few months ago was my last sleep paralysis, though I can't open my eyes but my mind was clear and awake. Something or someone's chocking me that I don't know what it was. I want to scream but no voice comes out from my mouth. I pray to Saint Michael to defend me from what is attacking me. Then it suddenly vanished and I moved ,get up and drink water while thanking Saint Michael.
Thank you so much for doing this! I have done much research into this. Shortly after my conversion the Blessed Virgin Mary came to me in a dream and told me to pray the rosary. After that I taught myself how to pray the rosary and went on to Consecrating myself to her. Then later running the small group Consecration programs, rosary rallies, and many of things to help others draw closer to the Blessed Mother. I am unsure if I would have ever prayed the Rosary if it wasn't for that dream. She was so beautiful I could barely look upon her 😍 I can still hear her beautiful tender soft voice saying "pray the Rosary" resounding through my soul.
I visited a Monastery for a weeklong silent retreat at the Abbey of Gethsemani this past summer. The first 3 nights I had terribly vivid dreams with legions of demons. Oddly, they didn’t really scare me as I clung to our Lord and our Lady in prayer, IN my dreams. 4th night I was finally rid of the dreams, and I slept like a baby. Also, I SELDOM have spiritual type dreams, much less three nights in a row. It felt like I was in battle every single night. I told my husband, and I agree with him that if demons are going to be anywhere, it’s going to be where the most spiritually pure and those who are striving for the most holiness are. They probably pester the heck out of those monks. So yeah, very unsettling. ✝️✝️✝️ St. Michael the Archangel protect us in battle.
Dear Fr. Chris and the Marian Priests, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to you. You are in my daily prayers, and I truly appreciate the effort and dedication you put into your live teaching on RUclips. I understand that facing challenges in this endeavor can be difficult, but please know that your work is making a positive impact. May God bless and protect you from all adversities, and may His divine guidance continue to shine upon your path. With warm regards and prayers.
There was a point when I wasn’t sleeping well for over a week and decided to say some deliverance prayers before bed and sprinkled my room and bed with holy water and I slept like a baby that night. It works!
Holy water truly makes a difference I experience a lot of brain fog etc and I sprinkled holy water on top of my head one night and literally felt it refreshing and relaxing my brain. The feeling was amazing. If your having trouble sleeping try praying to St. Jude his prayers are never known to fail!
There was one night that I had a dream in which I was surrounded by a pack of wolves that were growling and snarling at me. I was laying on my stomach, absolutely terrified. When I reached my hand upward, I noticed a wall of golden fur above and in front of my face. I then realized that it was a huge 🦁 standing guard over me, growling at the wolves, and I had a sense of being protected. I have never forgotten that.
I had a dream back in 2014..ifell asleep on my mother's sofa for the night..I was on a beach like I knew I was in Israel sea of gailalee.. There was a small coal fire burning n I couldn't tell if it was dusk or dawn but Jesus was there sitting speaking to me but I couldn't understand his words, he showed me his hands n it seemed like his precious blood flows into a wooden cup..there was 2 others sitting with us but they didnt speak..we were all dressed like Jesus's time.. after this it was over n I awoke n immediately I felt the most serene peace n comfort that I've ever ever felt n that's how I knew it really was the lord..I can never forget this. Jesus I love you and thank you
I was having the wrost nightmare of my life and i recited the 23rd Psalms and i was totally releasede from the nightmare and a calmness flowed over and thru me , saved by the holy sprit
2 months ago I decided to finally get help regarding my mental health. After which I had a dream where I heard a whisper that said to me Save a prayer for for the Lord and Mother Mary. Do what is right by the white shield of Archangel Michael. What stood out to me was the "Michaels white shield" part. I never heard of that expression before. A couple of years back I OD. It was total darkness, when I saw an image of a woman and a light that told me " get up is not your time yet" Ive been away from the church for more than 25 years. Today I pray a rosary a day. I have yet to confess and have comunion. I know the Lord is waiting for me.
I dreamt of our lady when i was a teenager. Very comforting and full of love. She comforts me about my fears. I cried upon waking, because of unexplainable love i felt. Still vivid until now
I ordered The Sleeping St. Joseph with box underneath! I haven’t had bad dreams (Thanks God and my Guardian Angel 🤭) but ordered just in case if I can gift anyone who’s in need in the future!💕
Thank you Fr. Chris. The talk you gave on dreams in my opinion was very good, well presented and informative as far as our human nature can interpret dreams. You helped me to understand dreams that have been with me since childhood. I am now 77 yrs old, but a couple dreams I had as a child, which were reoccurring at that time, I now know the possible meaning. Thank you. I was very sorry to hear you took flack for a talk you gave on the charismatic movement in the Catholic Church. I have to tell you my personal observation on this subject. I did join a group over 20 years ago. But as quickly as I joined, I had to leave! I did not get out of it what many people were getting. To me it was a lot scarry and not at all Catholic! But what do I know, having grown up with the Latin Mass and not eating meat on Fridays and fasting from midnight on Saturday's before receiving the greatest gift of all, The Holy Eucharist.... God Bless you Fr. Chris and all our priests. Gone is the time of true reverance, when the church was a stronghold for all. When our priests were kissed on the hands for the very beautiful duty only they can perform the Mass. When the head was slightly bowed at the very mention of Jesus name. When to pass a Catholic Church, if you were unable to stop for a visit, you would bow your head or make the sign of the cross as an outward sign of love and respect. I didn't mean to go on so, but I wanted in my feeble way for you to know how appreciated you and all our priest are. God gave you all to us and His beautiful Church! God Bless all that you do for Him and for us.
@@allanramusiewicz996 yes 1952 was a great year. We were the generation who had the Saturday afternoon activity of walking to our neighbourhood parish en masse to go to confession only to meet up again the next morning to attend Mass with our classmates and sit in a designated spot in church supervised by our classroom Sister. May God bless the Souls of those beautiful sisters who taught us hours every day in Catholic school and gave us the seeds of a great formation bearing fruit today. Some like me may have wandered through the years I thank God I’m back. Happy early birthday. 🎂. May God bless all of us , it it be His Will, with many more happy, healthy, holy and rational years.
Thank you for bringing this up Fr. Alar. I've had dreams throughout the past thirty year's plus. I've dreamed of two children three yrs. before I had my son/daughter even when I was diagnosed 'Endomitosis and was told by Doctors that I could never have kids. I had 5 dreams every night for 5 nights that my son was going to be in Heaven, 3 months before his death at 24yrs. old The dreams were most beautiful and in technicolor that's hard to describe. I had a beautiful dream of my dad about three or four months after his death again, 'heavenly!' I did have a dream of my mother several months after she passed but it was not a good dream so I continue to pray for her and offer Masses for her. I've also had and continue to have instances where I will be thinking of something and it comes true whether that day or the next. I also had a wooden rosary become extremely hot as I was praying the 'Sorrowful Mysteries.' The rosary never burned me and lasted for about Thirty seconds. I've been saved by my Patron St. Michael when I was in my teens and twenties, I was born on his Feast day. There's more but I'll stop now....
For a year prior to becoming a Christian I had sleep paralysis every single night and a demon was with me in my room, crawled on my bed and then on top of me. I would awaken and think, phew that was terrifying, and look and see the demon standing next to me. Every night. It was torturous. I was baptized and didn’t have that experience for 12 years until I had my daughter a few months ago. I fell asleep holding her and awoke, paralyzed, to the demon from 12 years prior crawling onto my bed and telling me he was going to take my daughter from me. I baptized her in the sink afterwards and am now in the process of becoming Catholic.
Thank you for your livestream talks Fr Chris and Marian fathers. It is such a blessing to share Sat mornings with the Marian family from all over who share devotion to Divine Mercy.
I agree, 100% !!! Father Anthony’s wonderful Mass talking about Padre Pio and then the live stream Explaining the Faith. It doesn’t get any better. Great. Sharing with you 😊as well.
I thought you were very clear on the Charismatic Movement and the Holy Spirit and Gifts of the Holy Spirit . I am fortunate that I watched and listened before it was taken down. Hopefully this will be put back up. Sometimes when people do not agree with something they might not be capable of listening....."if today you hear His voice , harden not your heart...." I am learning how not to harden my heart...your talks help me.
Fr. Chris, thank you for explaining the subject today on dreams in the light of the Catholic teachings. I find this very important for we must know how to react what to do with it. You have rescued us from many confusion of the world’s teachings and for all of these, I’m always profoundly grateful. Talking about dreams, I had experienced so many in the past that I wrote in my diary because it’s more on a spiritual journey of knowing Jesus and my living faith in Him. But one time, I also experienced that sleep paralysis and what you said about it is extremely true and scary. I did my best to say the name of Jesus because of the presence of the devil, but I could hardly say it, yet in a feeble manner, Je,Je, Je… till my husband woke up and I felt relieved. Then, I realised that no matter how tired I am from the day’s work, I must not make excuses of not praying before sleeping. Daily, I now spend one hour in the evening to do my spiritual reading, examination of conscience, thanksgiving and invoking the protection of my guardian Angel. God bless and prayers for you Fr. Chris and Bro Mark and thank you for everything you sacrificed for us.
Thank you Father .I had an amazing dream after I had a miscarriage a few years ago.i will never forget that dream father there was loads of rainbows it was amazing. Now I have a beautiful baby girl 15 months old . I thank my Father in Heaven for her. I also named her after are Blessed Mother Mary x
@@DivineMercy_Officialwhat if you had a dream of divine mercy and the image came to life , you could see the whole image and he's hands waving , seeing a the whole image apart from hes face , no words spoken , leaning into kiss him and landing a kiss , then waking up in a paralysed state unable to move
My husband passed in 2007, I sprinkled Holy Water over me and around to bless everyone , especially my family and friends in the morning and evening. I also wear one of my many Rosaries. I have recommended this to friends who have trouble sleeping.
i used to be plagued with nightmares and when my father was fighting cancer for 3 years and died, i had a lot of sleep paralysis during that time. and after my father's death, he was always angry in my dream. 7 years later all my nightmares and angry dad dream ended. my father was standing at the top of the stairs in the house where we lived when he passed away, and he smiled at me. i never had a bad dream after that. a week later my mother told me she got a plenary indulgence for my dad. she gained that indulgence the day i dreamed my father smiled at me. i do find that my dreams deteriorate somewhat when i haven't been able to go to confession for a while.
My dream was of the Virgin Guadalupe. She was so BEAUTIFUL! Nothing was said she just stood in front of me. When I woke up, I bawled. The feeling that it left was unexplainable. I couldn’t even talk about it without crying, because the feelings and emotions that I had when I seen her would all come back, when I talked about it. And the crazy thing, that same day, I went to my mother-in-law’s and she said look I bought you a blanket and she opens the blanket and it had this big image of the Virgin Guadalupe just as I had seen her in my dream the night before. I just cried when I seen it. But no one knew why I cried, because I hadn’t been able to tell them. My mom who had recently passed weeks before that time, prayed to her for as long as I can remember. So for me, that was my moms way of connecting with me. And showing the beauty of the Virgin.
I experienced sleep paralysis, 2x of the same night and I was so scared, someone was on top of me, pressing on my chest, I ca really tried to wake up and called on Jesus, it stopped and I woke up, I thought I had a heart attack...my anxiety started after that, and now I still have anxiety about my health, and Im actually tired with my anxiety and worries. Please pray for me Fr. Chris. - Diana
I just want to mention that I too had sleep paralysis for years and it caused me anxiety too. I now take melatonin before bed and I no longer suffer from this. I hope this will help.
Jesus, I entrust Diana in Your great Mercy wipe away all her fears and anxiety and replace it with total Surrender and trust in God's Divine Will. Peace and joy be with you Diana. Fiat☀️💖🙏🌹😇
This is amazing Father, great information. There 2 dreams I will never forget. One, I have a lot trauma from my childhood and would dream of being chased after very often, one night in my dream it was all dark and as the person that was running after me was about to put his hand on my shoulder, I screamed with all my strength, Jesus, help me! And the most amazing thing happened, I saw a huge hand come down from heaven, grabbed me and pulled me out of the darkness. The second dream, I could see demons coming at me from several angles and I would start praying as loud as I could the Our Father and the demons would back off. Very powerful dreams so thank you so much for this teaching.
Christmas, 2004, I came back from Mass and took a nap. In my dream, I was driving along the shore and I saw huge waves, but they were running along the shore, not coming into it, and they were full of debris. When I woke up, the first reports of the great Tsunami started coming in.
I get so tangled up in rope of life, but God in his infinite wisdom & patience untangles me slowly day by day. Surely He must think I’m the slowest learner their is ,but by His Grace & Mercy, I shall be free.God Bless.
Thank you! This is very informative and inspiring. I am a usual vivid/lucid dreamer. I always remember my dreams and I can sometimes remember two or more dreams. I am humbly saying this. Long ago I had a dream I know that is from God and it shows there that there is a temple and Mary is at the center. There are childrenon the sides in groups of twos. And there is a long line of people (I forgot if there are adults) I remember clearly that on the front lines are young children with hands in prayer. I also viewed the dream in a very high bird's eye view and I am up in the clouds. I saw many angels with the children. It shows that Mary are revealed most profoundly to those whith child-like faith. And only with humble submission and faith can we acknowledge and venerate Mary pleasingly. This dream is on my mind while I was watching this video. Also, related to St. John Bosco's dream, past around this Christmas, still Christmastide.... I dreamed that I had been sexually harassed and sexually explicit images of a man and women are in front of me. Then I walked out of the room and saw an impending doom, I felt it. It was a huge building. With many floors and rooms. White stone building, similar to my highschool Saint Edward School Lancaster (not necessarily to involve them with the sin happening in my dream). Then I shouted, repent! I saw people on my left, and they also shouted "Repent!" We also raised our hands. Then at the exterior wall of each room was a sign and bible verses in red background. They were warnings and rebukes. I shouted them too. I was walking forwards the hallway. And this is where it gets so heartbreaking. I am very emotional especially when I saw the dream of St. John Bosco today. In my dream, in front of me, beside the building was a very large ship, very similar to the ship on the image here in the video. It was also night time and the sea or ocean was turbulent. The ship is facing the building. Then there is a large sign near the ship that there is a human who is/will be also there in the ship. Is it I, I thought. And want to help. (I love the song "🎶 Is it I Lord? I will go Lord if You lead me I will hold Your people in my heart." Okay back to the dream.) A man tapped my back then the next moment or scene in the dream was that I am in the ship. There were already people who are attacking the ship. (I don't know when but I certainly heard the name "Noah" or the phrase "The time of Noah" in the dream, specifically in the boat. Idk what that means.) Then I fought for a little while, saying something. But then ran upwards the ship, running away from the enemies. The end of what I can remember. I just thought that it is important. I hope God will be the judge and if this could be any help? Then that's better. Btw, I struggle with lust and always go to confession for cleansing. Merry Christmas 2023
Thanks for this precious lecture. Catholic Church teaching about dreams, how important is this... Thanks a lot. I dream so much and so intensly. I often dream of the sea, of water in general. I wanna learn more about dreams in a Christian way. ❤
Thank you, Father. Marvelous way of ending this talk, Devotion to our Lady and strengthening our bodies and souls through daily Communion. God Bless you, Father
My fiancee dreamt of our Lady saying my mom who passed away needs prayers. And another dream where Jesus told him that my fiancees father who passed away needs to go through purgatory as his father needs it. Please pray for them too.
I come from the other side of the world. Thank you so much Fr. Chris! You are such a blessing to my life and to many others that are watching. God bless the Marian Fathers!
Thank you, Fr. Chris, for another great talk. Sometimes I dream about friends from my past, usually people I haven't seen in years. I feel that whoever it is may be in need of prayers and say a chaplet, rosary, or at least a few Hail Mary's when I wake up.
This same thing happens to me. Oddly, I usually either see them in person a week or so after the dream or they contact me shortly after the dream. It’s like a warning to me
I’ve had several dreams of demons and sleep paralysis when I was away from the church. I’ll never forget them , God did use them to get me closer to him. Since coming back I have not had them .
Thank you for all your excellent work father I just want to say some people are just way too sensitive so much that they easily take things out of proportion! You are so loved and I've done so much for father God & our church! You are so sweet to apologize about things you say but again, SOME people are just want to pick at things we say! Also, maybe not in this case, but I'm 61 and I've dealt with the public for yrs & yrs! People just get so weirded out (for lack of a better term! God bless you father! Keep up all the good work, I've learned a lot from your work!!! You are absolutely awesome! This is like 5 months old already as I post this, hope you see it!😊✝️💐
Good wise advice. I am not a Catholic, but an ex Romanian orthodox who has moved to the Church of England. Over the years, I had a few dreams which stood out as from God and Jesus. I also had dreams of fighting evil, where I found myself powerless until I started praying to the Lord in earnest and suddenly I was delivered from evil. There is this huge danger that we start feeling superior because of a dream. In fact, on our faith path, whether asleep or awake, at any point our pious gestures, feelings and actions can be hijacked and turned into their opposite by the deceiver when pride arises. God help us keep our humble soul. Amen.
Father Chris, I have gone to my parish to talk to our priest about my vivid dreams. He basically just smiled and really didn't want to hear me out. I have dreamed, Jesus , the blessed virgin and different saints in the sky 🙏
Thank you for explaining this. I had dreams of what my soul looked like in god’s eyes. It was so powerful that I gave up my sinful life and returned to the church. Ever since than , the Devil has been attacking me in my nightmares.
Wow! Thank you, Fr. Chris! This talk is exactly I have been seeking to listen --a real Biblical evidential talk about “dreams” ! I love reading our Catholic Bible a lot! I also have had some significant dreams….I thought those are important to talk to some spiritual knowledgeable priests,but never have got a chance!
Yu don't need to apologize for calling out fr. schmitz or anyone on their public mistakes , you are always very respectful, humble & with facts / accuracy/ truth based on research etc what you did AnD the way yu did it fr chris was excellent. People that like to play the victim/offended card need to look at their own lives and stop trying to cause havoc over ADULTS who are the outpost respectful ND factual when they address anyone such is the way you are fr chris . Don't pay mind to that. You were respectful, very clear and apologetic the 1st time when you addressed him, he should definitely retract , apologize based on his theatrics and his lack of research, he is the one that made a mistake n his crying on different videos or his tendency to cry on any talk he gives even when he tries to hold it back it's a sign that he needs to take a brake, obviously he is stressed out, and/or being online is affecting him and needs to take care of himself. I digress father chris aler it was appreciated then now how professional and kind you are un your delivery of all topics
Fr.Alar, you have truly soothe some of the dreams that I have had 2 and 3 X You have such a way when you speak, as I follow you. Our Loving LORD is always with you ... May God's Grace, guidance and Blessings be always upon you🙏🕊
Thank you so much Father Chris. You’ve been of great help towards my spiritual journey. May God bless you always, your family, and all the Marian priests. ❤
Fr. Chris, the Lord led me to this for me and for you. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I do CBT-I, cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia. I also have insomnia. It has helped me tremendously. I am having increased symptoms after losing my mother last week. I recommend you find someone who does it or reach to me and I will find a way to help.
I always dream of my father and I’m talking to him. Not in the past but in the presence. I’m always praying for his soul and wondering hoping if he made it to heaven
Dreams fascinate me just the ability to have a dream is quite amazing. Think of all the highly paid software engineers, animators, programmers and designers it takes to make a video game. And you basically do it every night on the fly without any knowledge of how. God's creation is so amazing!
I wish you wouldn’t take down videos. I’ve watched a lot of them and there’s never once been a time where I thought you needs to apologize. I feel like great care is taken in all your talks. God bless your ministry and thanks for the catechism.
I agree, not a single one. Because of your videos, I’ve learned so so much. My 87 year old mother loves them too, and although she knows so much about our faith, has learned a lot from your videos, and loves them.
Thank you so much for all your teachings. Thank you for your humility and for caring for our salvation. It amazes me how many get offended please never stop; this is so fulfilling
Ever since I was a child I dreamt about spiritual things. Once I dreamed about me and my family waiting for an Angel’s visit. After that I would often dream about the apocalypse. After my first communion or just before it I dreamed about the Virgin of Fatima in a mountain with a few clouds and I hugged her, then she held my hand and my uncle’s and grandpa’s as we prayed the rosary. I woke up kinda scared after that 😭After that I also dreamed about Jesus visiting me and telling me things I couldn’t hear ir don’t remember hearing. I got older and one time I had sleep paralysis and I heard a devil-like voice asking me “Who is gonna save you now?” And after that I told it to go away and started praying The Our Father and then I could wake up. I often felt lonely cause I couldn’t find a lot of information about dreams but I’m glad to find other people who have also experienced this :)
Thank you Father. You give of yourself and get slammed even when you explain very clearly what you are saying. God bless you for re-explaining for what you already said clearly previously. I think people get upset because they make a decision as to what they think you are going to say and then they don’t really listen to what you are saying. Thank you to you and all of the Marian Priests for all you do. God bless all of you. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I had a dream about the protection of the Holy Name of Jesus. It was scary at first, but it ended up giving me comfort and was a good reminder not to leave the state of grace
@@DivineMercy_Official father Chris mines was strange and very scary I couldn't wake up, but the strange part is I was able to say the name of Jesus and Mary and then I would wake up, sometimes I would hear growling very very scary i would get this more often but now not that much I now sleep with the lights on❤ 🙏
Since you sed it first-- yun na din ang sasabihin ko sana kay Fr.Chris this talk about dreams was really fascinating. Some 16 years ago before my Uncle died last 2009, I dreamt of his wake n by the time I attended his actual funeral w/ my dad, it was really eerie n gave me chills; this other dream I had 12yrs ago before this actual thing happened in Gaza, Israel now I dreamt of it-- watching it on the news it's like a DEJAVU, so I guess all that I saw in my dreams before was a supernatural talaga like mga pakitain sa kin ni Lord. Thank you so very much n God bless u po Fr.Chris!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you Father I have always told our LORD I would always call on him if I was scared. One night I had a dream that the devil was chasing me. It scared me so much I called out to our LORD of course the devil was gone. I woke up and thanked the LORD and slept with the Bible in my arms.
My conversion from lukewarm Catholic to devout Catholic came as a result of a life changing dream I had in 2017. I went to bed at midnight and when I woke up from the dream it was 5am. God took me to hell in my dream. I was trapped there in outer darkness all night screaming for help and no one could hear me. I could feel the years passing by in my dream. The dream looped all night long as I screamed on helplessly. It was only when I screamed out for God to help me, he stretched out his hand and took mine. I could see light around his hand. Then I woke from that dream. It was after 5am when I awoke. That day I bought a crucifix and a rosary and completely turned my life around. This is a true story. That dream saved my life.
Yes cutting separation from God is scary
@@DivineMercy_Official totally agree.
Reply to @ Gill S: Great testimony! You had a ",Jonah" experience. He said," Out of the belly of hell cried I, and God heard him and the fish vomited him up on dru land! But the "Sign Lesson " in Jonah is the Universal ♾️ Salvation of the Ninevites! It was not Jonah's will that they should all repent and accept the Gospel, but It was GOD'S Will, and nothing is too hard for Him or His Son or the Holy Ghost 👻💜!
If you really want to be saved from this, you must follow the first commandment: Thou shalt have no other gods before me. You only got one hand out, not three. You have to think about this carefully. Good luck

May 2021, one month after my husband of 40 years died, I had a very vivid dream of Jesus sitting by my side. He was my friend, and I felt a sense of love coming from him that was so strong and all encompassing like a love I never felt before. His very short message in few words was how to live my life now that my husband was gone. I can still "see" this dream today clearly. When I follow his advice, I am at peace and things are smooth. When I accidentally do not, chaos. It also helped me strive more to become a better Catholic. I believe it was real, because I have never had such a strong memorable dream before, nor could I even imagine the love. People are amazed at how well I am doing since he died, without therapy. The faith and love has moved me forward with much ease.
Praise the lord!
I had dream with Jesus told me I will work for him, after few years they hired me work for Church ( secretary). I was working for 4 years.
Would you mind sharing what Jesus said to you? I might want to share your story with a friend who was recently widowed. Thank you, and God bless
🙏🌹
Wow! How beautiful!

I sprinkle myself with Holy Water before sleeping. Also, I had dreams of praying the rosary in sleep. I remember waking up many times saying the “Hail Mary”, this is my prayer weapon during nightmares, the enemies vanish immediately with this prayer.
Amen
NICE!!!
Honestly I always have my rosary on me. You never know when you may need to unsheathe this divine weapon. But I prefer to have it unsheathed at all times.
I always listen to Father Alair before I go to sleep. For the first time I'm afraid to go to sleep. I will say a few Hail Marys before going to sleep😮
I sleep with rosary 📿 in my hand 🖐️📿♥️
My mom has breast cancer stage 4. Exactly one year ago, my mothers health took for the worse.. I was pregnant and my mom was dying. I prayed so hard. So when I left my mother so she could get treatment I thought of Padre Pio, I for some odd reason I went to sleep and that night I dreamt of Padre Pio.. I was in the confessionary and he was speaking to me in his native language and all I got was pray and don’t worry!!! 😮 amidst everything that was going on… so coincidently I passed through his Shrine in PA and I felt the most comforting peace. My mom is much better but not going to lie some days are worse than others and I get discouraged but she’s doing better!
After unsuccessfully trying to conceive for two years I went to my childhood church and went to see the Mary statue i visited so much when I was a teenager. I asked if she would pray for me to have another baby. I told God if it was his will that I only have one child I would accept it with his help and truly thanked him for my first boy. But, if it was his will, could I please bare another child so my son wouldn’t be alone. That week I dreamt we were watching fireworks from my front steps. My 3 year old was in awe of the giant fireworks. We got to the grand finale and the big last firework was so huge and covered the whole sky. It was in the image of Mother Mary and all the warmth and light fell over us. It was the most beautiful feeling of pure joy and love. I have never felt that twice. It’s indescribable the peace and love I felt was so PURE. I almost felt weightless.I looked down to the bottom of the front steps and excitedly ask my husband, did you see that? He turned around, beaming at me with a newborn in arms. Yes, I saw that! I woke up in a puddle of tears and feeling like my chest would burst! I was laughing as I ran to the drugstore for a pregnancy test. In my heart I knew it would be positive. It was so beautiful. I remember it clearly. My son is going to be 10 and he’s such a beam of light in my life. I can’t explain it, but that’s what happened. God is great
How beautiful!!!
@@anasefcik4449 yes all by God’s grace!
Beautiful, happy gift!
Deo Gratias!Ave Maria!❤🙏🌹🌹🌹
Mama Mary always intercede our prayers to Jesus. ❤🙏
My mother was a cradle Catholic but became a Protestant before I was born. I was raised Protestant (now Catholic) and I had many wonderful dreams of Jesus and the Saints as a child and I was also susceptible to nightmares. I remember one dream of being invited into the Ark by Moses and Noah (I now realize this is the Catholic Church), and I also remember a nightmare where I was in darkness being harassed by demons and witches. My guardian angel appeared to me in my dream, called me by my name and said “wake up.” I immediately woke up. My parents came in to console me and found occult images on a newspaper I brought into my room because it had cartoons on it.
I continue to have spiritual dreams as an adult, and I know now that when I am not in a state of grace, the bad dreams are God’s way of telling me to get my life in order. The most recent one was charity. I have unknowingly offended God by not being charitable. A demon had a hold on me but when I said “charity” it let go of me. I then lamented, “Oh, God, I have gravely offended thee.” Even in nightmares, God is merciful.
One final comment. I became Catholic because Our Lady appeared to me in a dream and gave me a Rosary (I was a Protestant married to a lapsed Catholic and didn’t know anything about the rosary). She showed me that a terrible, diabolical attack would take place on our family (it did), but the Rosary would stop it. It did. Praying the Rosary even physically liberated me from demonic oppression. I was suffering from a sudden terrible headache, and while praying the rosary, and meditating upon the sorrowful mysteries, I felt heat radiate from my head and a sudden relief from the debilitating headache. As the headache left me, I felt something kick or punch me on the inside of my body on its way out.
Our Lady is the most beautiful woman in the world. She brought me and my family into the Ark of her Son’s Church, and crushed the Devil’s head for me.
Thats awesome. I was brought up protestant but had catholic ancestors. I dreamed of the Jesus as Vilnius image of divine mercy for years as a kid. When i became catholic i realized that i had beeb baptized in a methodist church as a baby on divine mercy sunday

How beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing. It was edifying.
@@suzannemoloney9465 How cool!
She brought me to her too. I was baptized Catholic as a baby and then my mom turned protestant after that. The Blessed Mother heard my suffering and embraced and consoled me. Unbelievable to the world! Somehow now I believe.
To the one who's reading this, I hope you are doing alright, I hope that all the pain you are facing right now will turn into a great achievement. Always remember that God is always with us. He will bless, guide, and protect us
thank you, I know you don't know me but your comment is so thoughtful and timely, I am scheduled for eye surgery Tuesday, but the issue that is facing us is my husband is being tested for cancer, he is being so strong and I am so proud of him, but feeling so helpless. Yes, prayer helps, but I cannot help wishing I could help him.

I dreamt of saint Padre Pio a few months ago. I was sitting across from him at a long cafeteria table and all the other seats were taken by the happiest children I’ve ever seen. He said one word , “Adoration”. I woke up as soon as he said it. Saint Padre Pio pray for us ❤
And go to Adoration!😊
Beautiful 🎉
I dreamt that I was being chased by two demons and the Virgin Mary protected me. Our Mother is always interceding and protecting.
I have nightmares about a demon hiding in a church
@@mik569God bless you that is so scary and never know the way the world is coming It's so sad the way the world is now Peace be with you 😇
Oh my, I had the same dream I had two demons dressed in black and hooded and faceless, outside my glass door but as they were behind the door they couldn’t get in because they were bound. They were bound. I ran to my dining room and I was safe there. When I woke up I was terrified but in real life my dining room is where I had about 80 framed biblical passages. It was a project I worked on during Covid. I felt as if THE word ( of God) from the Bible was what protected me- meaning that I could find all of the answers I seek in the Bible- guidance, direction, safety. That if I had faith in the Bible truths, trusted in what God said, I could let go of the Anxiety I was plagued with. And by the way, my name is Gloria, too.
In my nightmare, I dreamt that I ate a giant marshmallow. When I woke up, my pillow was gone...😁 Keep The Faith Folks.

i had a dream demons came to kill me in the form of men and Mary protected me so effectively they couldn’t see me or touch me and left angry they couldn’t harm me.
My wife of over forty years died a year ago last April. I still dream that she is with me. Sometimes during the day if I have a nap. Lord Have Mercy
I'm so very sorry that you lost your wife, sir :( I'm also sorry that people can only "like" your comment, with out expressing empathy. Your statement reminds me of something I learned while working healthcare and from patients who had amputations - it's called phantom pain. Their muscle memory remembers. The brain is not yet used to that lim no longer being there. You were married 40 YEARS!! Of COURSE you are dreaming she is with you! That's a lot of time, a lot of memories, bonding, one flesh unions. It's fresh! She died last year. And you're still adjusting to life - sadly - without her. I am praying for your broken heart. I have aches too not for the same reasons. The Lord is merciful, dear one. He wants you to cling to and crave Him too.
May her soul rest in peace; sorry for your loss!

In the year 2008, I had a very strange dream. I was raised by toxic parents who fought a lot. Anyway, I was 15 years old when my youngest sister was born. My parents were not capable of raising the child and so, my grandparents raised her. Both grandparents had died by the time she was 13 years old. I was an adult by then and tried my best to look out for her. In 2008, I was living with my mother and my two sisters. In April, 2008, I had taken my youngest sister to Six Flags, Great Adventure. We had a nice time. In September, 2008, I had a strange dream. I dreamt that I was again at Six Flags, Great Adventure with my sister. Suddenly everyone vanished. I saw my grandmother who raised us sitting on a bench. I was shocked to see grandmother because she had passed on. Grandmother looked very worried and upset. I remember saying to her "grandmother what is wrong?" Then I woke up and was a bit worried. I told my sister about my dream and said that grandmother was upset and looked like she wanted to tell me something but I woke up. My sister, Natalie, said "well it was just a dream." I shrugged it off as such and put it in the back of my mind.
Then, three months later, on December 13, 2008, tragedy struck. My youngest sister, Natalie was violently struck by a car. Her head hit the windshield and her leg was badly broken. She also had a broken pelvis. The doctors didn't know whether or not she would survive and if she did survive, she was in danger of losing her leg. I was shocked and in disbelief 😮.
I thought about my dream of my grandmother. Grandmother had always prayed the rosary down at the Shrine of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal in Germantown. I went there and prayed the rosary and the novena for her. A lot of people prayed with us. My sister survived the accident and was able to save her leg. She was very ill for a long time but she recovered.
As I said, God is an enigma, and I don't know if He allowed my grandmother to really visit me in my dream. I know that the accident would've upset her tremendously if she was alive. It was if she was trying to tell me to be careful.
The moral of the story is that God definitely tries to show us signs to help guide us. Maybe grandmother really visited me in my dream? Maybe it was just a dream? Nevertheless, the most important thing is to pray and to thank God for His mercy and his many blessings 🙏
May God be with us.
Thank you so much for sharing your story. Prayers for your family and for lots of love and blessings in your life. I am so sorry that happened to you. God bless you.
Thanks for sharing. God speak to us in dreams. But just like you I listened to someone telling me oh it Just a Dream not it's GOD speaking &we need to listen 🙏 wish I knew this wisdom I would have been saved from a whole bunch of PAIN!❤
Thanks for sharing, May you and your family be blessed.
There was a time ii was in so much stress and my life was very troublesome. One night i dreamt of St Benedict and calling for his help. Strange since i didn't know anything about about him and when i woke up and searched him up,I found out he is the patron saint of exorcists and deliverance. God was literally showing me that I needed deliverance!
The same thing happen to me 😮 but my husband had a dream of me.. and yes I did not know nothing of St Benefict❤ his my Saint ❤
As far as dreams go. For a long, long time I had a lot of real bad dreams related to a bad devote where my wife cheated on me along with 2 back to back tours in Iraq.
One thing that really really helped me is playing Gregorion Chants and the Ave Maria on low in the background while sleeping. Several 10 hour plus vidios on RUclips that has these.
But playing these have really really helped, I sleep much better and have much more pleasant dreams.
Plus Gregorion Chant sung in Laten and the Ave Maria help keep the Demons at bay. Ask any exorcist and they will tell you the same.
I have had dreams from God or with Jesus since I was a small child. When I was 6, I began reading the Bible and looking at the pictures early before my family woke up. I began sharing with the priests during confession. As a young college student, I learned calligraphy. My professor encouraged me to incorporate calligraphy with my art. I have had many dreams over the decades and paint them, including scripture.I always pray for God's direction. I printed the cards and am now encouraged to write books with illustrations and calligraphy. Some people are blessed, and some people are offended. I have gifted my cards to my parish.
Thank you Father Chris. I do believe that God does communicate with us in our dreams. God sent the Angel to St. Joseph to tell him of the Annunciation.
I had a very strange dream in 2010. It was early December and I was engaged to be married to a divorced man. One night in early December, I had a very strange dream. I dreamt that I was at church with my fiancé where we we going to be married. Suddenly, I see Jesus standing at the altar smiling with His arms stretched out for us to receive Him. He was wearing a green robe with yellow stars. The stars had golden rays coming out of them. Jesus looked identical to the Shroud of Turin image. I was sitting in the pew kneeling with my fiance but we didn't go up. I woke up wondering what that dream meant as it was a bit extraordinary. I was quite moved by the dream. I remember it vividly to this day.
About two weeks later, we went to the priest to schedule the wedding. I come to find out that I was free to marry in the Catholic faith but he needed to get an annulment in order for us to be married in church. I begged him to get an annulment and he refused. He was extremely upset. I didn't want to break up with him but I didn't want to marry him outside of the faith and be excommunicated from the Catholic church. He flat out refused to get an annulment and I felt pressured to make a decision. My fiancé was extremely angry and he felt that I was being ridiculous and unreasonable because I said no. I didn't know what to do as it was a serious dilemma.
I thought about my dream and was wondering if the Lord Jesus Christ was trying to tell me something. I just couldn't marry him outside of the church. Ultimately, we broke up because I was not willing to be excommunicated.
I believe that God is an enigma. Sometimes, God does things to lead us down the right path. Whether it was just a dream or a genuine visit from the Lord Jesus Christ is unknown. I shall never forget how radiantly beautiful Jesus looked in my dream. Oddly enough, He was wearing the colors of Our Lady of Guadalupe. A green robe with yellow stars and it was December. Jesus didn't speak to us with words in my dream. His arms were stretched out welcoming us to come and receive Him in the real presence of the Holy Eucharist. I felt that had my fiance truly loved me he wouldn't have put me in a position to choose between my faith and him.
I chose the faith and I don't regret my decision. I was a bit angry at the Church for a long time because of the annulment laws. Years later, I come to realize that not marrying him was the right choice. I finally straightened out my life in 2017 and I have never been happier 😊
You IMHO as well as being visited by Our Lord in your dream given the Gift of Wisdom by The Holy Spirit 🕊️
Thank you for sharing and God bless you
I wish I could do the same, I have been with my husband for 20 years married through the Civil Court, but he keeps telling me that he will marry me through the church soon and then later on he will tell me no and he's been doing that for 20 years. I haven't left him because we have an 11-year-old son that has Autism, but he escapes at times and he's a hand full. He's close to his dad and I can't raise him on my own because my husband works while I stay home to take care of him when he has school breaks and to catch up on all his messes, while his in school. So I pray daily for him to marry me, since we have been married for 20 years and have a disabled child together. I truly need the Eucharistic and I'm need of a lot of prayers to get married soon through the Catholic Church, so we can be in total grace and go to heaven.
What an amazing testimony! Thank you for sharing!! You are truly blessed 🙏
@SoyElegidaPorDiosEnSuCatolica I will keep you in my prayers. What I would do is talk to your parish priest and see if he can assist you with the annulment process. I would also make a commitment to pray the rosary daily for this intention. Keep your heart open and be patient. God will show you what to do. He'll open a door for you. I also suggest not nagging your husband about it but instead, give it to God. He'll take care of this situation in His time.
God nudges me every night to pray the Devine Mercy Chaplet cause He said the world needs it. If I forget, He wakes me up, & I sometimes say, “yes, ok, I know, I know” , then I start praying it. I then, usually fall asleep right after.
Mother Angelica said if you suffer from insomnia, pray! 🙏🏼
Absolutely true, I agree with Mother Angelica !!! 👍👏♥️👼
I listen to sermons like these.
I had a dream where a monk told me my sins were forgiven. Then he told me my mother was out of purgatory! I hadn’t been thinking of my mother but she was a very good Catholic and died 30 years ago! I didn’t know what to make of it but I really felt at peace afterwords. Thinking about it the next day it made sense. My mom died from a sudden heart attack after coming home from Mass. However, she had a half sister that she said she’d never forgive. If the dream was true, perhaps she did have to spend some time there. I still have Masses said for her though.
Thanks for sharing ❤
Wow thanks for sharing
The so called monk in dream told you that your sins were forgiven? That of course would not be true until you go to a validly ordained Catholic priest and confess them in reality. It seems dangerous because if you don’t have a strong belief in all the teachings/ dogmas of the Catholic Church, then you could have been misled into thinking you had just received absolution in a dream. That will never happen.
So be cautious. Prayers B to you.
I know that but was surprised about what was said about my mother as we didn't have a close relationship. Like I said still have Masses said for her
😊
2 weeks before the day of my licensure exam I was about to give up because I felt pressure and scared to failed the exam, but I dreamed God ,he give his two hands to me to stand up because I was lying in the shore and no plans to stand up, i feel very down, But God appeared and he gives his two hands to me wearing long white clothes, he comfort me, because of my dream I did not afraid to took the exam because I know God guides me and he is in my side ,still very clear in my mind even its 20yrs ago. I love you Lord
Warm greetings from Australia 🦘 The more popular you get Father Chris, the more attacks on your integrity. You have been an absolute Godsend for so many Catholics around the world. You are brilliant and have a beautiful heart (there is NO malice!). THANK YOU. Keep up the great work. Your talks and commitment to the TRUTH is sorely needed.
Thank you for watching with us and God bless you and everybody in Australia
@@DivineMercy_Official PS Father Chris. I make sure I say a Divine Mercy prayer for you EVERY day, to help you in your work. Please just make sure you don't get burnt out and that you look after yourself. I can only imagine the exorbitant demands on your time and energy ...no peace, even at the airport. If I saw you at the airport, I would shake your hand and say, "thank you Fr. Chris and what an honour for me".
@@LoudandClearChastity thank you and God bless you
Agreed. And extremely well articulated.
Blessings of God to Australia and all its myriad citizens from The Republic of Texas, USA.

@@jos1122 PS. I have never been to Texas. Maybe one day. Xx
I have sprinkled holy water on my bed and room when I have bad dreams or feel afraid out of no where. I have a rosary under my pillow as well. And I do what to share that having a rosary under your pillow has helped me feel safe and get good sleep without bad dreams
And praying to St Joseph and St Michael and your guardian angel
Same. Rosary under pillow or hanging from my bed post. I use exorcist blessed holy water to bless my room and myself before I go to sleep.
I bought 100 miraculous medals and spread them around my town and at the hospital during the pandemic. Plz say a prayer that I find my medals bc I had them in a bag somewhere and cannot find them anywhere. I had a bunch leftover after spreading around 20-30 of them in my town.
Thank you Fr Chris for a beautiful informative talk on Dreams. St Padre Pio pray for us. May God bless you & strengthen your ministry. God bless the Marians.
Amen Marie

And God bless you, too, Marie! 🙏❤️
I had a dream of my dead friend asking to pray for her and I saw her skin rotten.
And I prayed for her soul on that morinng and kept praying for her soul....then I dreamed her again just passed by singing and her skin looked good.
Yes, the power of prayer
My grandma died of Covid 2 years ago. Last year I had covid and had this severe pain in my throat. like broken glass. I went to bed and had a dream of my grandma and beside her is a man in bright white robe, she hushed me and the man put his hand on my throat and chest. I woke up crying and without the broken glass sensation in my throat. My grandma and my guardian angel healed me in my dream. 🙏🏻
Your grandma and guardian Angel interceded for you, only God can heal❤️🙏🙏🙏❤️
When I was converting, I asked in meditation about purgatory. I had a dream about it and it was dramatic. My guardian angel escorted me into it and showed me the suffering. I also saw a beautiful woman walking through the sufferers and would wipe brows and speak to them, bending over some to comfort. I saw beautiful angels enter and take a person out, embrace them and walk away together.
Oh wow.
This sounds so much like St Faustina’s vision of purgatory! It sounds like a true vision you were given. I find the subject of dreams really fascinating.
I have had several dreams with convincing thoughts of what is lying ahead of me. A couple of years ago, I had a dream in which I found myself lying dead in the hands of a person standing opposite an elderly fatherely figure sitting with a compassionate glance on his face. Though I was lifeless, I could feel the sense of an apprehensive anticipation of what this figure was going to pronounce. I don't remember anything after that but when I woke up the next morning, I got the impression that God gave me a new life. I disconnected every tie that held me to lustful thoughts and emotional adultery. My phone is a sacred altar for me to adore Jesus. I have progressed so much on the path of holiness, thanks to the abundant grace and loving mercy poured out through Christ. I am still a Hindu who got to know Jesus through a charismatic retreat a few years ago. I don't even have the freedom to pray to Jesus as I face stiff opposition from my spouse. Still I adore him in my heart and I listen to hundreds of of sermons on RUclips to keep my faith alive. God will work miracles for me and I patiently wait for God to act.
Thank you for sharing and God bless you
Talk to Our Lord mentally throughout the day, friend
Hinduism starts from one god and then there are multiple gods. Christianity starts from one God and then there are three. In fact, He is one God. How can he say in the first commandment, “Thou shalt have no other gods before me,” and then there are three, not one.! This is one mentioned in the Hindu books and all the ancient scriptures. Or even philosophical ideas. Or even the ancient Egyptians. He is one God worthy of worship. He is the creator of this universe. He neither begins nor is born.
Most Sacred Heart and Precious Blood of Jesus Christ please save us and the whole world Amen. Thank You our Brother Christ Jesus Amen.
Few months ago was my last sleep paralysis, though I can't open my eyes but my mind was clear and awake. Something or someone's chocking me that I don't know what it was. I want to scream but no voice comes out from my mouth. I pray to Saint Michael to defend me from what is attacking me. Then it suddenly vanished and I moved ,get up and drink water while thanking Saint Michael.
I've had those too. TERRYIFYING!
Thank you so much for doing this! I have done much research into this. Shortly after my conversion the Blessed Virgin Mary came to me in a dream and told me to pray the rosary. After that I taught myself how to pray the rosary and went on to Consecrating myself to her. Then later running the small group Consecration programs, rosary rallies, and many of things to help others draw closer to the Blessed Mother. I am unsure if I would have ever prayed the Rosary if it wasn't for that dream. She was so beautiful I could barely look upon her 😍 I can still hear her beautiful tender soft voice saying "pray the Rosary" resounding through my soul.

Wow😍😍😍Ave Mariam🕊️
I visited a Monastery for a weeklong silent retreat at the Abbey of Gethsemani this past summer. The first 3 nights I had terribly vivid dreams with legions of demons. Oddly, they didn’t really scare me as I clung to our Lord and our Lady in prayer, IN my dreams. 4th night I was finally rid of the dreams, and I slept like a baby. Also, I SELDOM have spiritual type dreams, much less three nights in a row. It felt like I was in battle every single night. I told my husband, and I agree with him that if demons are going to be anywhere, it’s going to be where the most spiritually pure and those who are striving for the most holiness are. They probably pester the heck out of those monks. So yeah, very unsettling. ✝️✝️✝️ St. Michael the Archangel protect us in battle.
Dear Fr. Chris and the Marian Priests,
I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to you. You are in my daily prayers, and I truly appreciate the effort and dedication you put into your live teaching on RUclips. I understand that facing challenges in this endeavor can be difficult, but please know that your work is making a positive impact.
May God bless and protect you from all adversities, and may His divine guidance continue to shine upon your path.
With warm regards and prayers.
My heart is full of gratitude for Fr Chris and all of our beloved and Marians! They have taught us so much.
There was a point when I wasn’t sleeping well for over a week and decided to say some deliverance prayers before bed and sprinkled my room and bed with holy water and I slept like a baby that night. It works!
Holy water truly makes a difference I experience a lot of brain fog etc and I sprinkled holy water on top of my head one night and literally felt it refreshing and relaxing my brain. The feeling was amazing. If your having trouble sleeping try praying to St. Jude his prayers are never known to fail!
There was one night that I had a dream in which I was surrounded by a pack of wolves that were growling and snarling at me. I was laying on my stomach, absolutely terrified. When I reached my hand upward, I noticed a wall of golden fur above and in front of my face. I then realized that it was a huge 🦁 standing guard over me, growling at the wolves, and I had a sense of being protected. I have never forgotten that.
I had a dream back in 2014..ifell asleep on my mother's sofa for the night..I was on a beach like I knew I was in Israel sea of gailalee.. There was a small coal fire burning n I couldn't tell if it was dusk or dawn but Jesus was there sitting speaking to me but I couldn't understand his words, he showed me his hands n it seemed like his precious blood flows into a wooden cup..there was 2 others sitting with us but they didnt speak..we were all dressed like Jesus's time.. after this it was over n I awoke n immediately I felt the most serene peace n comfort that I've ever ever felt n that's how I knew it really was the lord..I can never forget this. Jesus I love you and thank you
I was having the wrost nightmare of my life and i recited the 23rd Psalms and i was totally releasede from the nightmare and a calmness flowed over and thru me , saved by the holy sprit
2 months ago I decided to finally get help regarding my mental health. After which I had a dream where I heard a whisper that said to me Save a prayer for for the Lord and Mother Mary. Do what is right by the white shield of Archangel Michael.
What stood out to me was the "Michaels white shield" part. I never heard of that expression before.
A couple of years back I OD.
It was total darkness, when I saw an image of a woman and a light that told me " get up is not your time yet" Ive been away from the church for more than 25 years. Today I pray a rosary a day. I have yet to confess and have comunion. I know the Lord is waiting for me.
I dreamt of our lady when i was a teenager. Very comforting and full of love. She comforts me about my fears. I cried upon waking, because of unexplainable love i felt. Still vivid until now
I ordered The Sleeping St. Joseph with box underneath! I haven’t had bad dreams (Thanks God and my Guardian Angel 🤭) but ordered just in case if I can gift anyone who’s in need in the future!💕
I did sprinkle our bed before sleeping and we had a very sound sleep. My insomnia got cured.
Thank you Fr. Chris. The talk you gave on dreams in my opinion was very good, well presented and informative as far as our human nature can interpret dreams. You helped me to understand dreams that have been with me since childhood. I am now 77 yrs old, but a couple dreams I had as a child, which were reoccurring at that time, I now know the possible meaning. Thank you.
I was very sorry to hear you took flack for a talk you gave on the charismatic movement in the Catholic Church. I have to tell you my personal observation on this subject. I did join a group over 20 years ago. But as quickly as I joined, I had to leave! I did not get out of it what many people were getting. To me it was a lot scarry and not at all Catholic! But what do I know, having grown up with the Latin Mass and not eating meat on Fridays and fasting from midnight on Saturday's before receiving the greatest gift of all, The Holy Eucharist.... God Bless you Fr. Chris and all our priests. Gone is the time of true reverance, when the church was a stronghold for all. When our priests were kissed on the hands for the very beautiful duty only they can perform the Mass. When the head was slightly bowed at the very mention of Jesus name. When to pass a Catholic Church, if you were unable to stop for a visit, you would bow your head or make the sign of the cross as an outward sign of love and respect. I didn't mean to go on so, but I wanted in my feeble way for you to know how appreciated you and all our priest are. God gave you all to us and His beautiful Church! God Bless all that you do for Him and for us.
Very well said. I also remember the more reverent days. You made many good points. I enjoyed reading your comment and May God bless you.
Thank you for sharing and God bless you
What a beautiful reflection Lynn. I really enjoyed reading your comment as well. God Bless you 🙏📿✝
I’ll be 71 in 3 weeks and also remember the time and ways you speak of and couldn’t in my humble opinion agree more ✝️♥️♥️♥️🙏
@@allanramusiewicz996 yes 1952 was a great year. We were the generation who had the Saturday afternoon activity of walking to our neighbourhood parish en masse to go to confession only to meet up again the next morning to attend Mass with our classmates and sit in a designated spot in church supervised by our classroom Sister. May God bless the Souls of those beautiful sisters who taught us hours every day in Catholic school and gave us the seeds of a great formation bearing fruit today. Some like me may have wandered through the years I thank God I’m back. Happy early birthday. 🎂. May God bless all of us , it it be His Will, with many more happy, healthy, holy and rational years.
I saw lots of videos claiming to explain about dreams by so many...But this video is so accurate and correctly defined....Thank You father.
Thanks and welcome
Thank you for bringing this up Fr. Alar. I've had dreams throughout the past thirty year's plus. I've dreamed of two children three yrs. before I had my son/daughter even when I was diagnosed 'Endomitosis and was told by Doctors that I could never have kids. I had 5 dreams every night for 5 nights that my son was going to be in Heaven, 3 months before his death at 24yrs. old The dreams were most beautiful and in technicolor that's hard to describe. I had a beautiful dream of my dad about three or four months after his death again, 'heavenly!' I did have a dream of my mother several months after she passed but it was not a good dream so I continue to pray for her and offer Masses for her. I've also had and continue to have instances where I will be thinking of something and it comes true whether that day or the next. I also had a wooden rosary become extremely hot as I was praying the 'Sorrowful Mysteries.' The rosary never burned me and lasted for about Thirty seconds. I've been saved by my Patron St. Michael when I was in my teens and twenties, I was born on his Feast day. There's more but I'll stop now....
I try as much as I can to offer up all my suffering. For the conversion of sinners. For the souls in purgatory. And for the reparation of sins.
For a year prior to becoming a Christian I had sleep paralysis every single night and a demon was with me in my room, crawled on my bed and then on top of me. I would awaken and think, phew that was terrifying, and look and see the demon standing next to me. Every night. It was torturous. I was baptized and didn’t have that experience for 12 years until I had my daughter a few months ago. I fell asleep holding her and awoke, paralyzed, to the demon from 12 years prior crawling onto my bed and telling me he was going to take my daughter from me. I baptized her in the sink afterwards and am now in the process of becoming Catholic.
Thank you for your livestream talks Fr Chris and Marian fathers. It is such a blessing to share Sat mornings with the Marian family from all over who share devotion to Divine Mercy.
I agree, 100% !!! Father Anthony’s wonderful Mass talking about Padre Pio and then the live stream Explaining the Faith. It doesn’t get any better. Great. Sharing with you 😊as well.
I thought you were very clear on the Charismatic Movement and the Holy Spirit and Gifts of the Holy Spirit . I am fortunate that I watched and listened before it was taken down. Hopefully this will be put back up. Sometimes when people do not agree with something they might not be capable of listening....."if today you hear His voice , harden not your heart...." I am learning how not to harden my heart...your talks help me.
@@camwma what you say is true, you expressed that very well in my opinion. Is it removed by RUclips?
Thanks for listening
Fr. Chris, thank you for explaining the subject today on dreams in the light of the Catholic teachings. I find this very important for we must know how to react what to do with it. You have rescued us from many confusion of the world’s teachings and for all of these, I’m always profoundly grateful. Talking about dreams, I had experienced so many in the past that I wrote in my diary because it’s more on a spiritual journey of knowing Jesus and my living faith in Him. But one time, I also experienced that sleep paralysis and what you said about it is extremely true and scary. I did my best to say the name of Jesus because of the presence of the devil, but I could hardly say it, yet in a feeble manner, Je,Je, Je… till my husband woke up and I felt relieved. Then, I realised that no matter how tired I am from the day’s work, I must not make excuses of not praying before sleeping. Daily, I now spend one hour in the evening to do my spiritual reading, examination of conscience, thanksgiving and invoking the protection of my guardian Angel.
God bless and prayers for you Fr. Chris and Bro Mark and thank you for everything you sacrificed for us.
Thank you for watching and God bless you
Thank you Father .I had an amazing dream after I had a miscarriage a few years ago.i will never forget that dream father there was loads of rainbows it was amazing. Now I have a beautiful baby girl 15 months old . I thank my Father in Heaven for her. I also named her after are Blessed Mother Mary x
Yes
May God bless you and your little Mary.
@@DivineMercy_Officialwhat if you had a dream of divine mercy and the image came to life , you could see the whole image and he's hands waving , seeing a the whole image apart from hes face , no words spoken , leaning into kiss him and landing a kiss , then waking up in a paralysed state unable to move
@@catholicdefenceandtruthsee1223 yes, that would be a Grace
@@DivineMercy_Official that happened to me father , I know he's calling me for something but what it is I don't know , will you please pray for me
My husband passed in 2007, I sprinkled Holy Water over me and around to bless everyone , especially my family and friends in the morning and evening. I also wear one of my many Rosaries.
I have recommended this to friends who have trouble sleeping.
i used to be plagued with nightmares and when my father was fighting cancer for 3 years and died, i had a lot of sleep paralysis during that time. and after my father's death, he was always angry in my dream. 7 years later all my nightmares and angry dad dream ended. my father was standing at the top of the stairs in the house where we lived when he passed away, and he smiled at me. i never had a bad dream after that. a week later my mother told me she got a plenary indulgence for my dad. she gained that indulgence the day i dreamed my father smiled at me. i do find that my dreams deteriorate somewhat when i haven't been able to go to confession for a while.
My dream was of the Virgin Guadalupe. She was so BEAUTIFUL! Nothing was said she just stood in front of me. When I woke up, I bawled. The feeling that it left was unexplainable. I couldn’t even talk about it without crying, because the feelings and emotions that I had when I seen her would all come back, when I talked about it. And the crazy thing, that same day, I went to my mother-in-law’s and she said look I bought you a blanket and she opens the blanket and it had this big image of the Virgin Guadalupe just as I had seen her in my dream the night before. I just cried when I seen it. But no one knew why I cried, because I hadn’t been able to tell them.
My mom who had recently passed weeks before that time, prayed to her for as long as I can remember.
So for me, that was my moms way of connecting with me. And showing the beauty of the Virgin.
I experienced sleep paralysis, 2x of the same night and I was so scared, someone was on top of me, pressing on my chest, I ca really tried to wake up and called on Jesus, it stopped and I woke up, I thought I had a heart attack...my anxiety started after that, and now I still have anxiety about my health, and Im actually tired with my anxiety and worries. Please pray for me Fr. Chris. - Diana
I just want to mention that I too had sleep paralysis for years and it caused me anxiety too. I now take melatonin before bed and I no longer suffer from this. I hope this will help.
Yes prayers for you. And calling on Jesus's name is best
I had the same experience, what helped me was reading the Bible , praying 🙏🏻 and going To our Sacred Adorarion Eucharist ❤❤
I will pray for you. Bless you ❤
Jesus, I entrust Diana in Your great Mercy wipe away all her fears and anxiety and replace it with total Surrender and trust in God's Divine Will.
Peace and joy be with you Diana.
Fiat☀️💖🙏🌹😇
This is amazing Father, great information. There 2 dreams I will never forget. One, I have a lot trauma from my childhood and would dream of being chased after very often, one night in my dream it was all dark and as the person that was running after me was about to put his hand on my shoulder, I screamed with all my strength, Jesus, help me! And the most amazing thing happened, I saw a huge hand come down from heaven, grabbed me and pulled me out of the darkness. The second dream, I could see demons coming at me from several angles and I would start praying as loud as I could the Our Father and the demons would back off. Very powerful dreams so thank you so much for this teaching.
Thank you for sharing and God bless you
Christmas, 2004, I came back from Mass and took a nap. In my dream, I was driving along the shore and I saw huge waves, but they were running along the shore, not coming into it, and they were full of debris.
When I woke up, the first reports of the great Tsunami started coming in.
I get so tangled up in rope of life, but God in his infinite wisdom & patience untangles me slowly day by day.
Surely He must think I’m the slowest learner their is ,but by His Grace & Mercy, I shall be free.God Bless.
Thank you Father Chris! I love listening to your teachings. May the Lord Bless and Protect you !
Father Chris God Bless You for Your information about Our faith ❤🙏 ❤
Thank you! This is very informative and inspiring.
I am a usual vivid/lucid dreamer. I always remember my dreams and I can sometimes remember two or more dreams. I am humbly saying this.
Long ago I had a dream I know that is from God and it shows there that there is a temple and Mary is at the center. There are childrenon the sides in groups of twos. And there is a long line of people (I forgot if there are adults) I remember clearly that on the front lines are young children with hands in prayer. I also viewed the dream in a very high bird's eye view and I am up in the clouds. I saw many angels with the children. It shows that Mary are revealed most profoundly to those whith child-like faith. And only with humble submission and faith can we acknowledge and venerate Mary pleasingly. This dream is on my mind while I was watching this video.
Also, related to St. John Bosco's dream, past around this Christmas, still Christmastide.... I dreamed that I had been sexually harassed and sexually explicit images of a man and women are in front of me. Then I walked out of the room and saw an impending doom, I felt it. It was a huge building. With many floors and rooms. White stone building, similar to my highschool Saint Edward School Lancaster (not necessarily to involve them with the sin happening in my dream). Then I shouted, repent! I saw people on my left, and they also shouted "Repent!" We also raised our hands. Then at the exterior wall of each room was a sign and bible verses in red background. They were warnings and rebukes. I shouted them too.
I was walking forwards the hallway. And this is where it gets so heartbreaking. I am very emotional especially when I saw the dream of St. John Bosco today. In my dream, in front of me, beside the building was a very large ship, very similar to the ship on the image here in the video. It was also night time and the sea or ocean was turbulent. The ship is facing the building. Then there is a large sign near the ship that there is a human who is/will be also there in the ship. Is it I, I thought. And want to help. (I love the song "🎶 Is it I Lord? I will go Lord if You lead me I will hold Your people in my heart." Okay back to the dream.) A man tapped my back then the next moment or scene in the dream was that I am in the ship. There were already people who are attacking the ship. (I don't know when but I certainly heard the name "Noah" or the phrase "The time of Noah" in the dream, specifically in the boat. Idk what that means.) Then I fought for a little while, saying something. But then ran upwards the ship, running away from the enemies.
The end of what I can remember. I just thought that it is important. I hope God will be the judge and if this could be any help? Then that's better. Btw, I struggle with lust and always go to confession for cleansing. Merry Christmas 2023
Thanks for this precious lecture. Catholic Church teaching about dreams, how important is this... Thanks a lot. I dream so much and so intensly. I often dream of the sea, of water in general. I wanna learn more about dreams in a Christian way. ❤
Thank you, Father. Marvelous way of ending this talk, Devotion to our Lady and strengthening our bodies and souls through daily Communion.
God Bless you, Father

My fiancee dreamt of our Lady saying my mom who passed away needs prayers.
And another dream where Jesus told him that my fiancees father who passed away needs to go through purgatory as his father needs it.
Please pray for them too.
Purgatory isn't real so that dream obviously came from a demon to unsettle you.
This is great. I got to share this with my sister and niece. Karen Deneice Prater-Williams 💋💋💋

I come from the other side of the world. Thank you so much Fr. Chris! You are such a blessing to my life and to many others that are watching. God bless the Marian Fathers!
Thank you for watching and God bless you
THANK YOU FR. FOR YOUR EXPLANATIONS, MAY GOD CONTINUE TO USE YOU SO POWERFULLY!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you, Fr. Chris, for another great talk. Sometimes I dream about friends from my past, usually people I haven't seen in years. I feel that whoever it is may be in need of prayers and say a chaplet, rosary, or at least a few Hail Mary's when I wake up.
Thanks for sharing!!
This same thing happens to me. Oddly, I usually either see them in person a week or so after the dream or they contact me shortly after the dream. It’s like a warning to me
I’ve had several dreams of demons and sleep paralysis when I was away from the church. I’ll never forget them , God did use them to get me closer to him. Since coming back I have not had them .
We adore you Fr. Chris! I have learned more from you in the 3 years since my conversion to the faith. Thank you!!!! And God bless you!
Thank you for joining us Beth and God bless you!

Yes father Chris is good he talks about hard life issues I learned alot too
Thank you for all your excellent work father I just want to say some people are just way too sensitive so much that they easily take things out of proportion! You are so loved and I've done so much for father God & our church! You are so sweet to apologize about things you say but again, SOME people are just want to pick at things we say! Also, maybe not in this case, but I'm 61 and I've dealt with the public for yrs & yrs! People just get so weirded out (for lack of a better term! God bless you father! Keep up all the good work, I've learned a lot from your work!!! You are absolutely awesome! This is like 5 months old already as I post this, hope you see it!😊✝️💐
YES, Father, I agree. I had sleep paralysis a few times in my life, and it's was awful.
Good wise advice. I am not a Catholic, but an ex Romanian orthodox who has moved to the Church of England. Over the years, I had a few dreams which stood out as from God and Jesus. I also had dreams of fighting evil, where I found myself powerless until I started praying to the Lord in earnest and suddenly I was delivered from evil. There is this huge danger that we start feeling superior because of a dream. In fact, on our faith path, whether asleep or awake, at any point our pious gestures, feelings and actions can be hijacked and turned into their opposite by the deceiver when pride arises. God help us keep our humble soul. Amen.
Father Chris, I have gone to my parish to talk to our priest about my vivid dreams. He basically just smiled and really didn't want to hear me out. I have dreamed, Jesus , the blessed virgin and different saints in the sky 🙏
Some of them are not trained in it and maybe someone else might help you look at them.
Thank you for explaining this. I had dreams of what my soul looked like in god’s eyes. It was so powerful that I gave up my sinful life and returned to the church. Ever since than , the Devil has been attacking me in my nightmares.
Thank you for responding to God's grace
Thank you Fr Chris, love listening to your talks..... Durban, South Africa needs you and the Marian Father's.
Thank you and God bless you and everybody in South Africa
Thank you Father Chris for your teaching! It was helpful!🙏👏❤️
Very good presentation, Father Alar. Thank you.
Wow! Thank you, Fr. Chris! This talk is exactly I have been seeking to listen --a real Biblical evidential talk about “dreams” ! I love reading our Catholic Bible a lot! I also have had some significant dreams….I thought those are important to talk to some spiritual knowledgeable priests,but never have got a chance!
Blessings to you always Father Cris Alar.

Yu don't need to apologize for calling out fr. schmitz or anyone on their public mistakes , you are always very respectful, humble & with facts / accuracy/ truth based on research etc what you did AnD the way yu did it fr chris was excellent. People that like to play the victim/offended card need to look at their own lives and stop trying to cause havoc over ADULTS who are the outpost respectful ND factual when they address anyone such is the way you are fr chris . Don't pay mind to that. You were respectful, very clear and apologetic the 1st time when you addressed him, he should definitely retract , apologize based on his theatrics and his lack of research, he is the one that made a mistake n his crying on different videos or his tendency to cry on any talk he gives even when he tries to hold it back it's a sign that he needs to take a brake, obviously he is stressed out, and/or being online is affecting him and needs to take care of himself. I digress father chris aler it was appreciated then now how professional and kind you are un your delivery of all topics
Thank you and God bless you
Fr.Alar, you have truly soothe some of the dreams that I have had 2 and 3 X
You have such a way when you speak, as I follow you. Our Loving LORD is always with you ... May God's Grace, guidance
and Blessings be always upon you🙏🕊
Thank you, Father Chris, for the information I needed ...God Bless the world ❤
Thanks be to God in Jesus mighty name I praise God Amen 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much, Fr Chris Alar! I love it❤I have been seeking a real Biblical evidential talk about “dreams” !
Thank you so much Father Chris. You’ve been of great help towards my spiritual journey. May God bless you always, your family, and all the Marian priests. ❤
Fr. Chris, the Lord led me to this for me and for you. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I do CBT-I, cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia. I also have insomnia. It has helped me tremendously. I am having increased symptoms after losing my mother last week. I recommend you find someone who does it or reach to me and I will find a way to help.
Thank you for watching with us and God bless you
I always dream of my father and I’m talking to him. Not in the past but in the presence.
I’m always praying for his soul and wondering hoping if he made it to heaven
Dreams fascinate me just the ability to have a dream is quite amazing. Think of all the highly paid software engineers, animators, programmers and designers it takes to make a video game. And you basically do it every night on the fly without any knowledge of how. God's creation is so amazing!
I wish you wouldn’t take down videos. I’ve watched a lot of them and there’s never once been a time where I thought you needs to apologize. I feel like great care is taken in all your talks. God bless your ministry and thanks for the catechism.
Thank you and God bless you for supporting Divine Mercy
I agree, not a single one. Because of your videos, I’ve learned so so much. My 87 year old mother loves them too, and although she knows so much about our faith, has learned a lot from your videos, and loves them.
@@dorisreyes1272 thank you and God bless you and your mother
Thank you so much for all your teachings. Thank you for your humility and for caring for our salvation. It amazes me how many get offended please never stop; this is so fulfilling
Ever since I was a child I dreamt about spiritual things. Once I dreamed about me and my family waiting for an Angel’s visit. After that I would often dream about the apocalypse. After my first communion or just before it I dreamed about the Virgin of Fatima in a mountain with a few clouds and I hugged her, then she held my hand and my uncle’s and grandpa’s as we prayed the rosary. I woke up kinda scared after that 😭After that I also dreamed about Jesus visiting me and telling me things I couldn’t hear ir don’t remember hearing. I got older and one time I had sleep paralysis and I heard a devil-like voice asking me “Who is gonna save you now?” And after that I told it to go away and started praying The Our Father and then I could wake up. I often felt lonely cause I couldn’t find a lot of information about dreams but I’m glad to find other people who have also experienced this :)
Dreams are thoughts, feelings and emotions that pass through the mind at night/ during sleep.
Thank you Father. You give of yourself and get slammed even when you explain very clearly what you are saying. God bless you for re-explaining for what you already said clearly previously. I think people get upset because they make a decision as to what they think you are going to say and then they don’t really listen to what you are saying. Thank you to you and all of the Marian Priests for all you do. God bless all of you. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I had a dream about the protection of the Holy Name of Jesus. It was scary at first, but it ended up giving me comfort and was a good reminder not to leave the state of grace
God bless you father Chris .. may the almighty god protect and be with you always.

@@DivineMercy_Official father Chris mines was strange and very scary I couldn't wake up, but the strange part is I was able to say the name of Jesus and Mary and then I would wake up, sometimes I would hear growling very very scary i would get this more often but now not that much I now sleep with the lights on❤ 🙏
@@reynam5427 yes, the names of Jesus and Mary are very powerful
GOD BLESS YOU TOO FATHER CHRIS🙏🙏
Thank you, Fr Chris, for helping me to understand. God bless you always. Amen 🕊🙏🌹❤️🌹🙏
Since you sed it first-- yun na din ang sasabihin ko sana kay Fr.Chris this talk about dreams was really fascinating. Some 16 years ago before my Uncle died last 2009, I dreamt of his wake n by the time I attended his actual funeral w/ my dad, it was really eerie n gave me chills; this other dream I had 12yrs ago before this actual thing happened in Gaza, Israel now I dreamt of it-- watching it on the news it's like a DEJAVU, so I guess all that I saw in my dreams before was a supernatural talaga like mga pakitain sa kin ni Lord. Thank you so very much n God bless u po Fr.Chris!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank-you Father Alar,for doing this video on dreams
Thank you Father I have always told our LORD I would always call on him if I was scared. One night I had a dream that the devil was chasing me. It scared me so much I called out to our LORD of course the devil was gone. I woke up and thanked the LORD and slept with the Bible in my arms.
Thank you so much Father Cris ! God bless you! 🙏🙏🙏❤️🇵🇭
Thank you dear Father Chris. Always such a wonderful guide to take souls to Christ. God bless you
My Jesus hear my help me heal me remove all evil
Thank you, Father for another very educational talk.❤ You, the Holy Father and all priests in the world are in my prayers.
